Early life and education

Tate was born in Bloomsbury and brought up in the Brunswick Centre. Her mother, Josephine, was a florist, and Tate has said that the character of Margaret in The Catherine Tate Show, who shrieks at the slightest of disturbances, is based largely on Josephine.

Tate never knew her father as he left very early on in her life and, consequently, she was brought up in a female-dominated environment, being cared for by her mother, grandmother and her godparents. As a child, Tate suffered from an obsessive-compulsive disorder which centred on word association. For example, Tate was not able to leave a jumper on the floor or it might have brought misfortune to her mother whose name began with the letter "J" like jumper.

Comic Relief

Comic Relief is an operating British charity, founded in 1985 by the comedy scriptwriter Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry in response to famine in Ethiopia. The highlight of Comic Relief's appeal is Red Nose Day, a biennial telethon held in March, alternating with sister project Sport Relief. Comic Relief is one of the two high profile telethon events held in the United Kingdom, the other being Children in Need, held annually in November.

On 8 February 1988, Lenny Henry went to Ethiopia and celebrated the very first Red Nose Day Telethon. Over 150 celebrities and comedians participated. The event raised 15million British Pounds Sterling and attracted 30million television viewers on The BBC Network. The highlight of Comic Relief is Red Nose Day. To date, Richard Curtis and Lenny Henry are still active participants of the Red Nose Day Telethon which continues to raise funds for numerous charities that help children in need and tackle world-wide poverty.

Rory Root

Comic Relief was one of the first stores to stock graphic novels, presaging their popularity by many years. Root also made a point of supporting self-publishers and minicomics artists. In 1993, Root was awarded the Will Eisner Spirit of Retailing Award in honor of his exemplary work in promoting the genre.

Biography

Root attended the University of California, Berkeley, studying computer science, but dropped out of school just before graduating in order to pursue retailing. At first he managed a gaming store on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley; after it closed he worked at Robert Beerbohm's comic book store, Best of Two Worlds, also on Telegraph Avenue.

Root and then-partner Michael Patchen opened Comic Relief on April 15, 1987, on University Avenue in Berkeley.

Broadcast

The first series of the show, which consisted of six episodes, aired from 16 February to 22 March 2004. A DVD of this series was released in August 2005.

A second series aired from 21 July to 25 August 2005, and a 40-minute Christmas special was aired on 20 December 2005. For this series a new theme tune was introduced. A DVD of series two was released in October 2006.

The third series aired from 14 October to 25 November 2006. There had been speculation that this would be the final series; however, Tate explained in an interview on This Morning that she had never said this and would like to at least do specials in the future.

Comic Relief, Inc.

Comic Relief, Inc., previously known as America Gives Back Inc., is an operating 501(c)(3) American charity. It is an independent sister organization to the UK charity Comic Relief and is not connected to the former American charity Comic Relief USA. Comic Relief, Inc. is notable for the 2015 US launch of Red Nose Day, a telethon hosted by NBC based closely on the UK example of the same name, Red Nose Day.

History of Comic Relief and Red Nose Day

In 1985, as a response to famine in Ethiopia and other poverty stricken areas of the world, British comedy script writer, Richard Curtis and British comedian, Lenny Henry co-founded and co-created the British Charity, Comic Relief.
On February 8th, in 1988, Lenny Henry went to Ethiopia and celebrated the very first Red Nose Day Telethon. Over 150 celebrities and comedians participated. The event raised £15 million and attracted 30 million television viewers on The BBC Network. The highlight of Comic Relief is Red Nose Day which raises funds for children in need, poverty alleviation and world wide charities.

Music video

Directed by SUJ, the video starts with a woman talking to someone while watching the video for "Gas Pedal" on her phone. She complains that the video is lacking something and starts to dance. It cuts to Sage hanging out with The HBK Gang and a bunch of other people near graffiti walls and dancing. The video premiered on the artist's YouTube page on June 10, 2013.

Commercial performance

"Red Nose" debuted at number 62 on US Billboard Hot 100 for the week of August 3, 2013. Eight weeks later, the song peaked at number 52 for the week of September 28, 2013 and spent a total of twenty weeks on the chart. As of June 1, 2014, the song has sold 639,046 digital copies in the United States, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
